Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ Features Miley Cyrus and Post Malone, With Guests Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson
Also on the album: Shaboozey, Tanner Adell and Willie Jones, plus country music pioneer Linda Martell.
New details about Beyoncé’s incoming “Cowboy Carter,” out tonight (March 29), have emerged following yesterday’s tracklist reveal.
The follow-up to Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” features Post Malone on the song “Levii’s Jeans,” while Miley Cyrus lends her vocals for “II Most Wanted.” In addition, Dolly Parton appears in an interlude, as does Willie Nelson and Linda Martell, the first black female solo artist to play the Grand Ole Opry.
The initial tracklist reveal, paired with an earlier comment from Parton teasing her participation in the album, confirmed that “Cowboy Carter” also featured a cover of Parton’s “Jolene.” Beyoncé’s rendition of the 1973 classic plays shortly after Parton’s interlude and is just one of the many homages on the record.
As for other guests, Willie Jones is featured on “Just For Fun,” and hip-hop and Americana singer Shaboozey is on the tracks “Spaghettii” and “Sweet Honey Buckin’.” These confirmations debunk the long list of rumored guests for “Cowboy Carter” that ranged from Taylor Swift to Travis Scott.
Beyoncé’s new album was preceded by the surprise drop of singles “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages” during the Super Bowl. “Cowboy Carter” is the long-awaited “Act II” of 2022’s “Renaissance,” which the singer initially revealed would be a three-part project. The album’s first two singles comprised collaborations with Raphael Saadiq, Robert Randolph and Rhiannon Giddens.
In a post shared to Beyoncè’s social media last week, the singer said her journey to “Cowboy Carter” started five years ago, when she was inspired to dig into the genre after an incident where she did not feel “welcomed.”
She was likely referring to her 2016 performance at the Country Music Association Awards, where she duetted with the Dixie Chicks (as they were known at the time). The appearance caused controversy in the country community, particularly on social media, and some expressed displeasure at the fact that she was given such a prominent spot at the show.
In a long note posted on Instagram, Beyoncé explained that this incident inspired her to study the origins of country music. “It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed… and it was very clear that I wasn’t,” she said. “But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive.”
